Vintage 9ct Gold Blue Stone Statement Ring

Description

This vintage blue stone statement ring is crafted in 9ct yellow gold and hallmarked for Birmingham 1970. It features a large rectangular blue stone in a bold four-claw setting, designed as a striking cocktail or statement ring. The vivid deep blue stone dominates the design, so this vintage piece immediately commands attention.

The rectangular step-cut stone measures generously across the finger, which enhances its presence. At the same time, the warm tone of the 9ct gold mount provides contrast and balance. Because of its scale and colour saturation, this ring works best as a confident standalone piece rather than a stacking style.

Design & Craftsmanship

The blue stone is cut in a rectangular step-cut style, with defined facets that create flashes of light across the surface. Four substantial corner claws secure the stone firmly in place. As a result, the setting feels structured and architectural, which aligns well with 1970s design trends.

The mount rises into a solid gallery with open sections at the sides. These cut-outs allow light to pass through the stone while reducing overall weight. The shoulders taper from the head into a smooth 9ct gold band, and subtle ridged detailing near the setting adds texture without distraction. The Birmingham hallmark confirms assay and date, which anchors the piece firmly to 1970.

Why We Love This Ring

This vibrant cocktail ring makes a clear statement without unnecessary embellishment. The scale and colour does the work. Because the design is clean and geometric, it feels wearable despite its size. The solid 9ct gold mount gives reassurance, so it suits someone who wants vintage impact with practical durability.

Styling / Versatility

This vintage blue stone statement ring suits someone confident in their style. It works particularly well for evening wear, events, or as a signature everyday piece for those who favour bold jewellery. Paired with simple gold bands or worn alone, it holds its own. It would appeal to someone drawn to retro design, strong colour, and structured silhouettes.
